Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gaultheria Leafminer Moth sighting in Olympic National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 135th most-seen of the 207 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Gaultheria Leafminer Moth in Olympic National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, April–May and July–November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gaultheria Leafminer Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Gaultheria Leafminer Moth sightings, Olympic National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (Canada, about 20%) and Great Bear Rainforest (Canada, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gaultheria Leafminer Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Olympic National Park (12 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
